Running the same encounter multiple times on a single character is one of the behaviors they're intentionally getting rid of.
You can still run the same content each week, on different characters....
You're making this sound so much more complicated than it is, though.
Here's the basic process:
If (25m guild)
{
Pick your targets from the full raid list.
Kill stuff in 25m size....
The devs have already planned for this with the Heroism/Valor revised emblem system. Current raid tier will drop Valor, all previous tiers will drop Heroism.
Why would the leadership of a 25m...
Agreed on both counts.
Disagreed; the equal difficulty is one of the main goals, rather than a by-product. It's tied to the 2nd point you made, where they wish to have 2 raid sizes with the...
924 posts says no? ;)
By this logic, you have nothing to do now. If the only fun you have in WoW is 25m raiding, then you'll still be able to do so, when you have the time to do it...just like now.
There have been...
KnThrak does an excellent job of illustrating that not everyone has the same goals, nor do they see their current progression in the same light (even within the same guild).
I would still raid...
On the contrary, I'm very carefully reading your posts. Raid-leading and player retention will be problems in Cataclysm, yes. But they're problems now, and have been since 40m raiding. The...
If running a 25m raid is such a headache, then don't do it. No one's forcing you. I stopped worrying about 25m recruiting and all that goes with it when LK dropped, and I feel I'm saner for it. ...
Why is this player running 10m when they are part of a 25m raid group?
A) Wants to get more gear (albeit lower iLvl): In LK you run the 10m version of the same instance OR the 25m of the prev...
Again, the simplest solution here is to stop being such a nice guy and use your character to perform in progression encounters rather than benched for 'the good of the guild'. Options include:...
Your dedication to a guild that doesn't invite you to raids is remarkable.
I'll point to Forklift's comments about viewpoints on this issue again: the same solution you're using now will be...

That's a false assumption. Gear will be the same iLvl, but in addition to differences in healer counts, there are also differences in buffs available, as well as any other fight differences...
Already able to beat 10m Cataclysm raids, months before they're released? Amazing!
If you can identify why 10m are currently a joke, you'll have found one of the main reasons for this change.
...
That seems to be the point, though. If you choose 25m over 10m, you are rewarded via more stuff rather than better stuff.
Why would a 25m raid team switch to a 10m setup for defeating hard...
Yay for this! An excellent change to prevent some of the iLvl issues. Related old discussion here.
If normal mode is too easy, why are you not running hard mode?
47k buffed health is sufficient for this encounter. You need to get your healers to heal faster. They need to understand how important it is to keep the tank topped off with big heals. Also,...
Keep in mind that the Abomination is actually a vehicle, and suffers from the same server-side checks as other vehicles. There's a delay upon standing over a puddle before the Abom is registered as...
From another thread:
32k rDPS is what you need. 5.5k from your damagers and 2.5k from your tanks (yay Bloat stacks) is enough to drop Festergut by the enrage timer.
Save your important cooldown(s) for the start of the 3rd inhale, and use your lesser cooldowns during the 2nd inhale or after the big cooldown ends during 3rd inhale. If the healers can't keep you...
Less obviously, you could just add them to the system. ;) You're likely to have repeat-attendance puggers anyway, if you raid on a consistent schedule.
But the simplest answer for pug raids is to...
Yep, intended change according to Daelo. No more easy mode just for bringing a Disc Priest. ;)
